Is it normal for the nasal bone to still feel sore 3 months after a rhinoplasty?

Asked By:ladanj in Los Angeles, CA

Also, when reducing the dorsal hump, how common is it for a lateral osteotomy to be performed as well? Just asking as i've noticed when i'm looking at my profile, the right side looks seamless yet when i'm looking at the left side, the bone juts out a little bit. Not sure whether this is from swelling or from nothing being done to the width of the nasal bone.
